North American Model • Hunters and anglers helped establish America’s conservation movement. • They initiated their own regulations, limits, seasons, to preserve wildlife and opportunity for future generations. • They established PR and DJ excise taxes to fund habitat protection. Between that and license sales, they support about half of our operations. • Our agency mission is at risk if hunting and angling decline. Marketing Panel, 2017 WAFWA AOW/CBMA 3
Our customers are getting older • Can we recruit the next generation of hunters and anglers to replace Boomers as they age out? • Better health in old age means people can be a customer for longer. • In WA, we see youth participation rising for fishing recently, but declining for hunting.
